PodsFieldSource maps hidden, read_only, admin_only and restrict_role/-capability like Pods' own view: hidden -> new status HIDDEN, read_only -> READONLY, restricted and not permitted -> READONLY with read_only_restricted, else HIDDEN. HIDDEN fields are not described, read out, queried or written (they look unknown) but stay in the schema for the media usage search; write() re-checks before Pods' save(). Required-but-restricted fields no longer block a create. Pods is not active on DDEV: covered by unit tests with a field-option fixture.
